Q: Does the Air Tool Conditioner contain silicone?
A: Yes, Air Tool Conditioner contains silicone. The Blaster Chemical Companies recognizes that many body shops and other businesses concerned about paint adhesion maintain a strict no silicone policy. The silicone utilized in Air Tool Conditioner is not very aggressive and our tests show that it cleans up with standard prep solvents. We feel this product can be used by these types of businesses if care is taken to ensure that it is not being used in critical paint areas and proper preparations are taken to the applied surfaces.
Q: Can Air Tool Conditioner be used as a regular lubricant and in in-line oilers?
A: Air Tool Conditioner provides the needed lubrication to suffiently lubricate pneumatic equipment and can be used as a normal lubricant while providing the additional benefits. Because of the solvents used in Air Tool Conditioner it may affect the clear plastic bowls used in many in-line oilers. Some in-line oilers' bowls are constructed of glass or steel and Air Tool Conditioner can be used in these types full strength.
Q: How often should Fuel Injector Cleaner be used?
A: The Blaster Chemical Companies suggests that Fuel Injector Cleaner be used once every three thousand miles. The product can be used constantly (with every fuel fill-up.) Several consumers have stated that their automobiles run better in the presence of the product and use it constantly. However, our testing shows that once every three thousand miles is suffient enough to clean up any deposits that have formed.
Fuel Injector Cleaner Treatment Rate: You may have noticed that our fuel additive FIC is packaged for two treatments. This applies to the average gas tank of 16-17 gallons. The entire container can safely be added to tanks with capacities exceeding 30 gallons. The suggested treat rate is _ fl.oz. of FIC to each gallon of fuel. (i.e. 5oz. treats 10gal.) FIC has been tested at 5 times the treat rate and still proves safe for fuel system components.
Fuel Injector Cleaner can be used in two-cycle engines, but not as a substitute for two-stroke oil. In can also be used in diesel fuel engines manufactured prior to the 2007 model year.
Q: Does PB Penetrating Catalyst contain silicone?
A: PB does not contain silicone. Experience has demonstrated that PB can be removed from metallic surfaces with common prep solvents prior to painting.
Use caution when using PB on: plastics, paint, rubber*, fiberglass, belting and similar materials. Always apply to an inconspicuous area before proceeding with application as PB may stain such surfaces.
•The petroleum solvents in PB will impregnate common black butyl rubber. If left in contact with these materials for extended periods of time they will begin to swell and deteriorate. However, these solvents evaporate and are not typically on applied surfaces for long periods. Components such as O-rings, control bushings, and gaskets, made from these materials get dry and hard after years of use. The penetrating/impregnating qualities of PB Blaster can restore some of the elasticity and softness to these old hardened components.
Use caution when using PB around: sensitive individuals*, animals and water sources.
*PB Stinks! Some sensitive individuals find it extremely offense and will complain of shortness of breath, headaches, and nausea when exposed to the product and its vapors. These symptoms subside once the individual is returned to fresh air.[Refer to MSDS for more information.] For these reasons, we strongly advise against using it on ventilating systems and components.
How can I get rid of the smell? Time and ventilation are your greatest allies. The components of the product which cause the odor are volatile and will dissipate over time. To hasten the process, you can remove as much of the excess PB as possible with hot water and grease-cutting dishwashing detergent. For fabrics, baking soda or powdered carpet fresheners may help.
PB is safe for all metals.
PB was once packaged as "Challenger Weapon Cleaner" and is safe for use on your firearms. It does well at cleaning and imparts a fine petroleum oil to lubricate and protect from corrosion. However, hunters have claimed that deer will smell it "a mile away."
